Are trauma, anxiety and insecurity controlling your life, preventing you from pursuing your dreams and living life to the fullest? Do you relive the past as if it were happening right now? Your head knows better, but it fails to convince your heart otherwise. As horrible as those experiences were in the past, they continue to zap away your joy and confidence today. You might even avoid situations that trigger the feelings. Are there any lost part of you that you'd like to return to? Do others believe in your competence more than you believe in yourself? What would it be like if life was driven by passion and joy, not fear or shame?

When life is overwhelming, we need someone to help us navigate our challenges. You are worthy of that support. You are the expert on you, and I consider it an honor to walk you through your pain and struggles. I welcome the opportunity to help you overcome negative beliefs that hold you back so you can find new pathways in relating to yourself and others.

Life can be difficult, unpredictable and even tragic at times. Are you ready to develop the tools to cope with difficult emotions and heal?

I grew up in an environment full of tension and abuse and often felt labeled the family's black sheep. To escape, I withdrew and shut out the world. Decades later, I found my way to therapy. It was an overwhelming process to get started. But I persevered because I needed a way out of my pain. Slowly through therapy, I became someone that I respected and felt more connected to myself and others. I can now say that I live a more balanced and hopeful life.

Taking the step to invest in your mental health takes strength and courage. To feel heard and understood is one of our most basic, fundamental needs. In my practice, I create a safe, accepting, judgment-free space where you are encouraged to be your authentic self. It is my goal to provide you the best care by highlighting your strengths and tailoring treatment to your specific needs. I am passionate about working with children, teens, young adults, adults, and families of all backgrounds struggling with emotional and behavioral challenges. I am here to support and guide you through life’s obstacles.

As a therapist, I look for the basic goodness of human beings and try to bring clients having locus of control in their lives and share perspectives leading clients to feel liberated so they find the meaning of life; fulfillment and happiness. This takes practice, as our minds naturally scan for the negative, but if we try, we can almost always find something good about you and others which will lead us to heal and peace and may bring harmony and joy to our life.

“Everybody has a story—ask them about it." This philosophy has allowed me to connect with people from all walks of life and has inspired me to want to listen to, help, and serve others. Using my former background in marketing and communications—coupled with my intersectionality and drive for social justice—I am passionate about advocating for diverse, underserved, and underrepresented populations who may be experiencing anything and everything from life transitions to crisis management. As your therapist, I strive to meet you just where you are and treat you holistically as an individual who is uniquely and wonderfully created.

We are surrounded by feedback, sometimes even dependent on it. Everyone has an opinion for us. Perhaps you have become so accustomed to the sounds of other voices speaking into your life that you aren’t even sure what your own voice sounds like anymore. Finding a place where you can be truly heard, without the pressure of taking on someone else’s “should” for your life, can be a struggle.

When we have too much emotional pain, we can't truly live free. Our brains are wired to avoid pain at all costs. We will do anything in our power to prevent pain or run from pain when it is activated. The countless strategies we create to avoid pain include distraction, addiction, people-pleasing, self-criticism, perfectionism, & performance. All of our strategies work for awhile but not long-term. Living a life with the sole purpose of avoiding pain is not freedom. It's not the life most people want to live. What if the key to freedom was not in finding new ways to prevent or cope with the pain but to actually heal the pain?
